City <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item # <br /> <br />4°7° <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Michele McPherson~, Director of Planning <br /> <br />DATE: May 2 I, 2001 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Grant Municipal Approval for 169/County Road 33 Interchange <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />· Resolution Granting Municipal Approval <br />· Layout 169/33 Interchange and Frontage Roads <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />In 2000, Governor Ventura announced that money had been appropriated to improve the <br />inter-regional corridor system. The intersection of County Road 33 and Interstate Highway <br />169 was selected to receive an interchange. Since that time a local technical advisory <br />committee has been working with MN/DOT consultants in identifying the best alignment <br />for the interchange. The contract to construct the interchange will be let by June 2003. <br /> <br />Proposal <br /> <br />The attached layout shows the overall proposal by MN/DOT. This includes a diamond <br />interchange for the 169/33 intersection with the bridge slightly skewed in a southwesterly <br />direction consistent with the County's long-term transportation plan. Also included in the <br />proposal is an east frontage road connecting County Road 21 to County Road 33. A recent <br />addition to the proposal is a west frontage road, which will provide access to AME's <br />concrete plant, the Art Barn, and a field, which is currently under cultivation. <br /> <br />Representatives from MN/DOT will be in attendance at Monday's meeting to review the <br />interchange project and to request that the Council approve the attached resolution granting <br />municipal approval. Adjacent residents interested in the project have also been notified that <br />this item has been scheduled for City Council consideration. <br /> <br /> <br />
